Whatever Tom's Boot Disk uses --
-rw-r--r-- 1 apharris apharris 1763328 Jan 12 17:12 tomsrtbt.raw
it seems to work for x86 users. I don't know about how well supported
this kinda thing (same sector density, but more sectors/track or more
tracks) is on non-x86 platform.
There may be x86 users who can boot from Tom's disks, but not ours;
however, I've never heard of any such cases.
